Roma women and girls are often excluded from consultation and decision-making processes on legislation, policies and programmes, including those designed specifically to address their situation. This contributes to the lack of or a limited perspective of Roma women and girls in policies on gender, social inclusion or Roma people, which further hinders the equal access of Roma women to resources and their full participation in all areas of public and private life. 

This exhibition offers an in-depth view of the lives of Roma women and shows their strength, resilience and incessant fight for human rights. Through powerful images, we celebrate the wealth and diversity of Roma culture and look at the challenges posed by Antigypsyism. Each of the photographs invites us to reflect, fosters solidarity and reminds us that the defence of the rights of Roma women is essential if we are to construct a fairer and more inclusive society.
